Last year, I also experienced the most despairing moment. My account balance suddenly dropped to zero from 1.2 million, and at that moment, it felt like the whole world was collapsing. My phone was shattered, all trading apps deleted, and I locked myself in a room for a full two months. Every day, I watched the candlestick charts fluctuate up and down, feeling like something was choking my throat, making it hard to breathe. People around me kept telling me "accept it," but that stubbornness in me just couldn't be suppressed.

At the beginning of this year, when I logged into my account again, there was only 3400U left. Staring at the screen, I told myself: either I get out now and never look back, or I take this remaining bit of soldiers and fight one more time.

Everyone who has experienced that kind of despair understands — staying awake every night watching the fluctuations, feeling like the entire market is against you.

But no one expected that, with just over three thousand yuan, I managed to gradually rebuild. From tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, then doubled again... not only filling the hole from last year but also earning over 50U more. Sounds like bragging? But what I want to say is, what supported me through this wasn’t luck, but three iron laws gained from repeated failures.

**First: Never run out of bullets**

My most deadly habit used to be greed. Always thinking "this wave will definitely turn around," which led to the fastest death. Later, I set a strict rule for myself: no single position should exceed 40% of the total, and the remaining capital must be firmly held. If floating loss reaches 15%, cut it immediately — don’t be soft, preserving the capital is the only way to continue playing this game.

**Second: Follow the market, don’t fight your own illusions**

I’ve seen too many people trying to buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest, only to be repeatedly slapped in the face by the market. Eventually, I realized that the market is always smarter than you; following the trend is the right way to survive. When technical indicators turn bad, you should withdraw, regardless of whether it’s a "good price." Emotions and market sentiment are often your biggest enemies.
